Why score should matter more than length
Most word finders sort results by length, on the assumption that longer words are always better plays. In Scrabble, that's often wrong. A 3-letter word using a Q or Z (worth 10 points each) can outscore a 7-letter word built entirely from common 1-point letters like E, A, and I. This tool sorts by actual point value instead, so the play at the top of your results is genuinely your best option, not just your longest one.
Scoring is calculated using the standard English Scrabble letter values, and handles blank tiles correctly. If a word needs a letter beyond what your typed rack actually contains, that letter is scored as 0, exactly how a real blank behaves on the board, regardless of which letter it's standing in for.
One thing this can't account for: bonus squares (double or triple letter or word scores) depend entirely on your specific board position, which this tool has no way to know. Treat the score shown as your word's base value, then add any bonus multipliers your placement covers.
If two words score close to each other, it's often worth checking board position before length or raw score alone. A modest word landing on a triple-word square usually beats a bigger word that doesn't.
How it works
Type up to 10 letters. Add ? for each blank tile you're holding.
Use Advanced options to require a starting letter, ending letter, or included letter.
Results are ranked highest-scoring first, with each word's point value shown right next to it.
Common questions
How is this different from the Word Unscrambler?
Same underlying word matching as our Word Unscrambler, but results here are ranked by Scrabble point value instead of word length. A short word using a high-value letter like Q or Z can rank above a longer, low-value word, matching how you'd actually choose a play.
How are blank tiles scored?
Accurately. If a result word needs a letter your rack doesn't actually have as a real tile, that letter is scored as 0, exactly like a real blank tile in Scrabble, regardless of which letter it ends up representing.
Does the score include board bonuses like double or triple letter squares?
No. The score shown is the word's base tile value only, since bonus squares depend on where you place it on your specific board, which this tool can't see. Use the base score as your starting point, then factor in any bonus squares you're covering.
Why do some short words score higher than longer ones?
Because point value depends on which letters you use, not how many. A 3-letter word with a Q, X, J, or Z can easily outscore a 6-letter word made entirely of common 1-point letters.
Does this use official Scrabble tile values?
Yes. The standard English Scrabble letter distribution and point values (Q and Z worth 10, J and X worth 8, and so on) are used to calculate every score.
Can I filter results the same way as the Word Unscrambler?
Yes. Advanced options supports starts-with, ends-with, and must-include filters, searched against the same 30,586-word dictionary used across the site.
Is there a difference between US and UK Scrabble tile values?
No, the standard point values are identical between the US (NWL) and international (SOWPODS) dictionaries. What differs between them is which words are considered valid, not what each letter is worth.
Why would I use this instead of just memorizing letter values?
Memorizing values only tells you what a single letter is worth. This tool does the harder part: finding every playable word your rack can form and then ranking all of them by total score at once, which isn't practical to do by hand under time pressure.
